Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Love.
The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes were must reads every day.... and twice on Sunday.
I have books for both. (I also have my grandmother's Family Circus books)

One of the best gifts I ever got was the hard bound set of the full Calvin and Hobbes collection. It is one of my favorite possessions. The sentimental value is what puts at the top. I remember buying the books as a wee lad and being excited every Sunday to grab the comic page. Ah... Those was the days!

B.C. Was good too. Damn, we had it good when that was the best part off the Sunday paper.
Always got a kick out of this one-

I think another thing that makes these so good is that now that we are oulder, the humor still resonates but on a more adult level. That is what was so good about these comics! Not only did we laugh as kids but we still laugh as adults.
100% agreed.
Best ever comic strip bar none
Looking at the picture, I thought this was going to be about pigs flying.
The best part of the Sunday paper is the NYT's Sunday crossword puzzle. Only thing I miss about stopping the newspaper although I've found a work around. Sunday morning ritual.

My Mom bought us the daily Far Side calendar every year for our Dorm in the early 90’s. My group of friends still send one around once a month.
